If Women's hockey is to take off, the first thing they need to do is allow hitting.
Women have a division in the UFC, I think the notion that they can't take a hit when armoured up, with full cages, is antiquated.
Because it is good hockey. It's intense. There's end to end action and great saves. Only, two girls go into the corner and one comes out after a clean hit, and now one side is down a player.
Why?
The NHL has to be behind this league financially, and they need to hit. Otherwise, it's doomed to failure.
